Sixty Three Senators Unify Americans Into Thinking At Least Sixty Three Senators Are Assholes

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Whether English is America's "national language" or its national "common and unifying language" was a question dominating the Senate immigration debate.

So, I'm just wondering: if Congress makes English our "national language", does that mean Preznit Stupid Mouth is going to have to learn how to actually speak it?  Or does the separation of powers allow him to continue to gibber away mindlessly in his native tongue of Retard?

I'm also wondering:  with a $400 billion deficit, $3 a gallon gas, two ongoing unwon wars, bin Laden still on the loose, a record $725 billion trade deficit, a military strained to the breaking point, and any number of federal agencies rendered so disfunctional they have to be either rebuilt from the ground up or disbanded altogether, why our United States Senate is wasting their time and our money debating unbelievably stupid shit like whether English should be the "national language" or the "common and unifying language" of the United States.

Hey, assholes, we already have a common and unifying language in this country.  It consists entirely of the words:  "Will you please quit fucking around and actually represent us???"

These dicks keep up this kind of bullshit and next the taxpayers are going to have to foot the bill for a brand new federal agency just to muck out the Senate chamber.

The Senate first voted 63-34 Thursday to designate English as the "national language" after lawmakers who led the effort said it would promote national unity.

Yes, that certainly will promote national unity--something Republicans like to do every election year.  It really energizes their base!

Up next:  national unity promoting flag burning and abortion banning amendments!

It can't be anything else.  They already covered wetbacks and homos.

Talk about wagging the dog. We are not supposed to know that Bush et al have driven this nation off a cliff.

Now why don't we ever hear senators with speeches like that? THAT would be a senator I'd vote for...

I'm just watching the sun rise and set. I hate to wish my life away, but two years is not coming fst enough. So much destruction can be done.

Wagging the dog-now that's classic. This administration is so paranoid of everything that they will do anything to paint people into a corner...the whole English as a first language..well, of coarse that's necessary because anybody who doesn't want to support this will have ten abortions, start to smoke a lot of crack, become a misfit and need to become a lawyer...anyway, i highly doubt anybody at this point sees the hilarity of "mirroring" and "teaching" they are doing by presenting these absurd lessons, nation, we are dumb and now we can watch our president be dumb, whatever...nice rant.....

We should have a national and common and unifying language. It should be American. The British stopped regarding us as English speakers long ago. My reasoning: A) Babel. B) "A nation divided against itself... "Debate" over.

Now...back to the important stuff.

(BTW, the only people in Congress who represent me are (off the top of my head) Waxman and Feingold. Sigh...)

Karl says bashing gay gringos will really juice the base. Muy bueno...
